Our ability to communicate with clients about complex engineering issues and to be effective in the field is unsurpassed. Big things are expected in GAP’s future, but none more important than the continued top-notch service and pursuit of delivering perfect projects.

What makes GAP Engineering different?

The days of being able to pick a large company and have them do turnkey projects are over. Due to downsizing and early retirements, most of the Engineering and Construction Companies are missing key personnel to execute projects without assistance from either the client or outside entities. Once a company takes on a project as an EPC unless they have access to the correct resources, the project will suffer and will run over budget. Compromises will need to be made to complete the project on time and budget. Most of the major EPC’s no longer have the correct number of senior people required to correctly manage projects and project managers that used to be a higher caliber are no longer out there. This is largely due to the time of 1980–2000, where there were 20 years where people were not going into engineering because other professions were paying higher salaries and attracting the brightest and the best. All companies are affected by this. This has caused a gap in experience in most engineering disciplines. GAP Engineering, Construction, and Inspections are comprised primarily of senior staff, and as larger projects come in, we bring in more junior people to help execute projects. We also have access to the same contract talent pool that larger companies do because of the contacts we have gained over the many years of being in the business. So spinning up large projects is not a foreign concept to GAP. From large to small projects, we have the capability to grow with your needs.
